"IHnndes are fickle," were the words attrihuted to the Justice, intimating that fickleness Is a bar to what the law Ih supposed to assure the person on tr'rl. A year or so n?o a Mp "Western employer In advertising for oflice help announce! that he would not receive the applications of blondes, Kivlng as a reason that he had found them Inattentive to work and temperamental in disposition. There has always been a pood deal of discussion repardinp the relative attractiveness of blondes and brunettes despite the fact that in the lonp npo when the caveman was the highest type of civilization, we were all blonde, or at least red hair was the darkest tint. The reason why nature covered primeval men and women with blonde or red hair was twofold; that it served the same purposes of low visibiJIty which Is gained by the animals whose fur coats blond with the surroundings In which they live and the "fact that those colors better protected the skin from the effects of direct sunlipht. We know that these colors-'of hair prevailed because in the discovery of almost every burial place of people of that time lipht or reddlshly tinped hair has been found.

WALKER time arts of th" body which lonpest resist the disfntepratii n which follows death are the teeth, the tinker nails and the hair, and of these the last two are very r. early of the same character. Which is pettinp some little way distant from the contention that blonde women are nrt fit for Jury duty because they are ILkle. Dido, queen of Cart ha pe, of whom Vlrpil writes In the Aerieid, was not tickle, althouph she. was a blonde. Mhe stuck to her hero throuph thick and thin and killed herself with a sword that he furnished. Cleopatra, who had red hair, a shade darker than the real blonde, was not what one mipht call absolutely constant in her devotions, but in modern society she ir.Ipht not he listed as extremely fickle. r.ut the analy::inp of society, ancitnt or modern, according to the color of tho hair, would not furnish very substantia basis for julpinp either women or men, blondes or brunettes. o 4 It is what is just under their hair that establishes the real qualifications for any sort of duty. Hrains are all one color. If the color of hair determined ability what would become of the unfortunates who haven't any hair at all? Never mind about your hair, younp lady readers.' Don't bother about its color, and don't spend too much time Tixinp" It. If you nre to be anxious about anything, be anxious about the Inside of your head Instead of the outside.

A pirlJs sure of a pood deal of liberty in such work, can add to its value and interest if she l so minded, and can feel fairly certain of permanent employment. Hut the salaries are small, very small. Like the teacher, the librarian must strupple to make both ends meet and keep up appearances. She has usually had a thorough education and a special traininp that has cost money. Sometimes she begins her work with a debt to pay off. She often injures r.er health in the attempt to do this. 'This is wronp. I know one young woman .who is librarian In a technical library. Everything about the .work is attractive and interesting; Jh pirl loves it. Hut she could not afford to keep the position were it not that she has a small private income to help, and. no, one dependent upon. her. She pets only $1,300 a year, with a short vacation. Libraries and library positions are to see a great" increase In the next few I ... '....' ni-nll.brrwl u'nnnn jt'Jirs. v.ieei uiu iuu-u. will be in demand. Rut how can such women afford, with living expenses what they are, to take positions so poorly paid? There 1 must be a change in 'these things. The community must recopnize that positions of this kind, which are an asset to the whole neighborhood, should receive a fair return. A good library cannot be pood unless the librarians who work in it are well trained and lirst-class. Such cannot po on forever making sacrifices - because they wish to serve the community, and love the labor they do. It Is high time to insist on a proper increase in library salaries. (Copyright.) THE ROMANCE OF WORDS "BUMPER." USKH in the sense of n "bumjier" of wine and t!;erefore belonging to the malt, vinous and dead languages this word harks back to the days of the Restoration when the drinking was deep and the shouting long and when, as penance for any slip of . the tongue or forgetfulness of manners, the culprit was sentenced to drink a "bumper" without spilling a drop. As this feat did not depend so much upon the liquid capacity of the drinker as upon the steadiness of his nerves, it was r.o light task particularly well along toward morning. A large goblet or a small howl was tilled to the brim with wine and then a few additional drops were carefully added, so that the liquid would not overllow but would actually rise a fraction an inch over the top of the containing vessel. The surface, being convex, was said to be "bumped up" and it was :hn accepted as a true "bumper." It is in this sense of more than full" that we still refer to a "bumper crop' or a "bumper audience."

DESTRUCTION OF WEEDS IS URGED

Noxious Plants Are With Us Always and Are Often Accepted as Inevitable Evil. CONTROL PROBLEM IS VITAL Even Wild Onicn, So Long Considered Hopeless, Can Be Destroyed and So Can Others, If Farmer Follow Set Rules. Prepared by the United States Depart-'' ment of Agriculture.) Weeds have been with us sinee the day when Adam, doomed to earn his bread by the sweat of his brow, began scraping with a stick at the plants he did not want in order to give those he did want a chance to grow. In modern days farmers are apt to ignore weeds or to accept them as an inevitable evil. Wted Destruction Paramount The results of over 200 experiments conducted by the United States Department of Agriculture with various crops strongly indicate that after preparing the seed bed, the main object of cultivation is to destroy weeds. If ft. SHEEP SükRÜL A PAMCLf; p C StLO D T'JDUeCLF n poor r ooi stock SMOOTH DOCK A Knowledge of Weed Characteristics Provides Means of Control. this theory is correct the weed-control problem overshadows all others with which the farmer is confronted. Modern agricultural science has discovered much concerning the control and eradication of these insidious land thieves. The wild onion, for example, was considered a hopeless problem from Massachusetts to Georgia, and as far west as Missouri and Arkansas until a weed specialist in the Department of Agriculture discovered that the plant produced two kinds of bulbs. One type was soft-coated, and formed the new plants during late summer and fall; the other was hard so that it was unharmed by winter, and ready to fdrm the new plants in the spring. With this to guide them the specialists proved that the wild onion can be controlled by plowing deeply in the late fall to destroy the plants originating from the soft-coated bulbs, and by planting an intertilled crop, such as corn, the following spring to kill the plants that come up from the hardcoated bulbs. Weedy roadsides are constant sources of trouble for the adjolniiwr farm lands. The seeds are carried miles by automobiles, horses, and passing wagons, so that they become a menace to the whole community. If nothing better can be done with the roadside weeds they can be mowed twice a year. This treatment, if well kept up, will effectively check the trouble. Sometimes a roadside can be converted into a lawn, or It carl be used for crops, to the pride and profit of the farmers whose land it borders. Control Measures. The underlying principles of weed control are shown in these rule by the specialists of tho United States Department of Agriculture: Use pure seed. Rotate the farm crops. Utilize pasturing animals, particularly sheep and goats, in keeping weeds down. Never allow weeds to mature. Mow before the seeds have ripened. Use intertilled crojrs, and cultivate often. Kill weeds while they are young by means of a harrow or a weeder. Compo?t manure for two months before using If it contains weed seeds. Practice surface cultivation after the crops have been removed in the fall. Use smother crops; buckwheat, soy beans, cowpeas, velvet leans, clover, etc. Chemical poisons often are helpful. Prepare the seed beds thoroughly to give the crop a start over the weeds. Use winter cover crop?. Hunt out the scattered weeds, and kill them. Mow dangerous grasses and burn the dry cuttings. Small patches of perennial weeds can be killed by covering for the entire season with building paper, boards, or other materials to exclude the light. Kill th? roots of perennial weeds by keeping the tops cut down. Grow alfalfa, when practicable, on weed-infested land. Soil Improvement by the ue of lime or freen manure will help to control the weeds. Soiling crops prevent the weeds from rnrh5nr maturity.

PEPPER PLANTS NEED EXTRA CARE TO GROW

Few Plants Required by the Average Family. Prepare Seed Bed by Forking or Spading to Depth of 8 or 9 Inches, Working in We 1 1. Retted Ma. nure and Fertilizer. (Trerired by the United States Department of Ajrriculture.) Sweet peppers, sometimes called Cldnese peppers and Mammoth peppers, are becoming more and more popular as a crop for planting in the home garden. Only a few plants are necessary to supply the family of average size with all the. peppers they will want, but it takes good land and extra care to .produce peppers of high qual. Ity, say garden specialists of the United States Department of Agriculture. Pepper plants are easily injured by cold and the plants should be started in the house, in a hotbed, or in a greenhouse. Perhaps the best way Is to purchase a dozen or so good plants from some seedsman or plant grower. In preparing the soil for peppers, first spade or fork the land over to a depth of eight or nine inches. At tho same time work in some well-rotted manure and a large handful of commercial fertilizer to each square yard of space. This should be done at least a week before thcr pepper jlants are set out. Then loosen the surface thoroughly at the time the plants nre set. Frequent cultivation is necessary, and an occasional application of wtak liquid manure to the soil around the plants will keep them growing vigorously. Large, tender peppers can only be produced on thrifty plants, and in order to keep the plants producing all the peppers should be kept picked off and none allowed to ripen. Ruby King, Chinese Giant, and Large Veil or Hull Nose are among the leading varieties of the large sweet peppers. Pimento poppers are mild in liavor and are largely grown in the Southern states for making the pimento pickled poppers. The pimento peppers can be used in the same way as the regular sweet peppers, or they may be left on the plants until red ripe, then used for canning. HANDY RACK TO CARRY HOGS Hinged Partitions . Particularly Useful in Hauling Animals of Different Sizes. It is a very easy matter to' haul hogs in a well-made rack. The framework is like that of a havrack. The iloor Rack for Hauling Hogs. is laid level on top of the bolsters. Tbe rack is just a. big crate built on' a level floor.. There are two partitions with liintrt-tl 'rates, which make It possible to haul hogs of different sizes and save loss from "piling up'' on the way to market. PREVENT HAY FROM HEATING Department of Agriculture Experts Recommend Use of Ventilators of Latticework. liny, especially alfalfa or clover, is likely to sitffer damage through heating injhe barn. This can be prevented by ventilation. To ventilate a hay barn the United States Department of Agriculture experts recommend the use of lattice ventilafors 12 to 1T Inches square and as long as convenient. These ventilators, which look somewhat like elongated crates, are made with corners consisting of 2 by 4 scantlings slatted together with narrow boards 12 to 15 Indies long. They should be braced to prevent crushing. The ventilators are laid in the hay 10 or 12 feet apart horizontally and far enough apart vertically so that the distance will not l-e more than S or 10 feet after the hay has settled. The ends should come out to the edge of the hay so as to permit free passage of air. This will penr.it the carrying off of steam caused by evaporation and will preserve the hay and prevent overheating. The ventilators can be made of various sizes of material, and. if strongly constructed, will last many years. PLACE FOR PUBLIC MARKETS Many Municipal Enterprises Have Failed Because of Poor Selection of Site in City. Many public municipal markets have failed through being improperly situated, it has been found by the bureau of markets of the United States Department of Agriculture. A retail market should be centrally located in or as near a possible to the main shopping section, where street car facilities are good, specialists say. On such a site the public market would be available to the greatest possible nuisU-r of people. f
